But never one to shy away from controversy, or danger, the former Jackass star kept his word – and carrying an inflatable killer whale called Shammy, climbed 100-feet above his beloved city.

According to NBC Los Angeles, he was arrested after firefighters and police rushed to the scene and set up a cushion in case he fell, however, it’s not clear whether he left the crane on his own accord.
